Can someone identify this potential wheat fungus?

Hello Everybody, sorry to disturb the scientific talk.

I am somebody with no microbiology background.

Could you help me to identify what this is? it is very bad? howget rid of that?

The size of the complete structure (the whole blob in the photo) is about 4 by 3 millieters.

It seems to be surviving on very different surfaces  like a metal kitchen sink, anti-stick-lining of pans, aluminium and glass. it is rather difficult to completely get rid of. it creates  a very thin whitish tarnsparent "film" and after a while of not touchng it, it gets these "blooms". (I just assume the "film" and the "bloom" are from the same source). The blooming i have seen so far, only on kitchen sink, aluminium pots and anti-stick Surfaces. The tap water in Berlin is what is called here "very hard" (in cas this is connected)

I live in germany in Berlin, and i have this very persistent (is it a fungus?) thing covering the surfaces close the kitchen sink when left alone.

I think it might have started after i bought some coucscous-grain at an arab store, poured it with water and left uneaten for a day. it was covered with white stuff. so could it be the source of this stuff?, i beleie it started about 5 to 8 many years ago already.

the couscous grain was packaged, but well.. you must know. it came from turkey or an arab country..

I do no know if this is a right place to ask.

If this is a completely wrong one, i would be great, if could point me in the right direction.

Looks like mold spores.  Decontamination needed.  Generally chlorine based cleaners and sanitizers do well.  I'd go as heavy as you can with the chlorine and brush / scrub everything.  Obviously, if you have any of that food leftover, throw it out.

You may also want to understand the building conditions this is happening in

Mold/yeast spores are everywhere, but do not usually flourish 

Case in point-on vacation for 2 weeks in August, humidity hangs around 85% in my part of the world, no mold/yeast growth anywhere upon return (house closed tight) due to AC running, had i left the house to its own devices, would have been a disaster

None of those surfaces will "grow' mold on their own as they are not a food source.  You've got a bit of a disaster on your hands, everything needs throughly cleaned with either a weak bleach solution or 5% acetic acid vinegar

Keep your humidity low (think about a dehumidifier) and everything dry

Did you recently bring in a new houseplant?

It looks like mold spores to me too. Like Ryan and Scampi said, bleach would probably be effective.

The CDC recommends a maximum concentration of 1 cup bleach to 1 gallon of water.

Be careful when cleaning not to release them into the air (dry scrubbing) or fling pieces elsewhere (overzealous scrubbing).

I would suggest immediately throwing away any towels used to wipe. Spores can survive a lot.

Hello Everybody.

Thank you a lot for your help.

I will try the chlorine cleaner.
